Dr. Seuss House

As the story goes, the original owner of this unwieldy building located in Willow, Alaska built his house shortly after a forest fire with a clear view of Mount McKinley and Denali National Park.

As the surrounding trees recovered, the pristine view was obscured and the owner decided to add a few more stories, eventually spending a decade adding floors until it reached the 12-ish story tower you see today. Not surprisingly, locals refer to the building as the 'Dr. Seuss House' as the design so closely mimics structures you might see in Theodor Geisel's illustrated storybooks.
